Blast Head News

[p]Our Blast Head is progressing towards release, and we're ready to give a group of you a glimpse into what may become the final version of our chaotic bullet heaven vision. Over the last couple of months we kept the Next Fest demo up to learn as much as we could about the player reception. Now, we've taken it down, reworked some aspects of the game to make it more juicy and easier to get into. Now, we invite you to...[/p][h2]JOIN THE PLAYTEST![/h2][p]It's as easy as clicking this appealing green button on the storepage:[/p][p][/p][p]... and while you're already there, getting access to our playtest, why not also click another button directly below? The one saying "Add to your wishlist". This way you'll make sure you'll keep track of the game you're just about to playtest and there's a good reason to get notified of its release. If you play and provide us with feedback, you'll be able to opt-in to be featured in the full game's credits section! The feedback form is linked to a "Give Feedback" button in the game's menu, but you can also get there directly by clicking here (although it's really recommended to play first, and check out the form afterwards).
